War of words continues in Maharashtra politics

New Delhi:

The phase of tussle started in the politics of Maharashtra last days.

It doesn't seem to be over yet.

The Election Commission on Friday, while recognizing the Shinde faction as the real Shiv Sena, also allotted the party's election symbol 'Dhanush Baan' to it.

This decision is being considered as a setback for Thackeray as his father Bal Thackeray had founded this party in the year 1966.
